Probe - Double Metal
Sheet Detector |
Features
- Thickness
range .05 mm to 1.5 mm (.002 “ to .060”)
provides flexibility for a broad range
of thickness applications and metals.
- Push-button
calibration instantaneously sets reject
threshold and adjusts signal for metal
- Can
calibrate with a single sample, then
automatically determine the double value
- Also
can calibrate with two sample for best
resolution
- Once
calibration is initiated, wait for metal
present
- External
calibrate capable
- Quick
response to double in 3 mS to 21 mS •
Automatic Setup identifies probe type
and selects the reject level for metal
- Diagnostic
warning alternately blinking lights for
error and probe failure, fail safe output
- Power
Input configures to 120 or 240 VAC @ 50-60
Hz for international application
- Quick
connect terminals for fast replacement
and to reduce downtime

Model DS100 Single Probe Double Metal Sheet
Detector is installed in difficult locations
where sensing is only possible on one side.
It detects ferrous metals over a thickness
range of .05 mm to 1.5 mm (.002” to .060”
). The DS100 measures the change in it’s magnetic
field as metal passes near it’s face. A new
sensing element in the probe head increases
sensitivity and improves stability compared
to other brands. To calibrate, simply insert
a sheet in front of the probe and push the
calibrate button. The detector automatically
sets the reject threshold above the single
sheet reading. It’s
form “C” contact relay de-energizes if a double
is detected, power is lost or a probe failure
is detected. One additional PNP transistor
output turns on when each single is detected.
This single output is applied to a good sheet
counter, jam detector or last sheet detect
circuit. The Model DS100 detector has fault
detection that immediately analyzes any problem
and operates a blinking Green LED code that
directs the operator or maintenance department
to the problem. |

Permanent
magnetic flux field is shunted across sensor
poles by the thickness of metal. Maximum thickness
is limited by the diameter of the probe. The
